As an old guy who retired from the Army as a helicopter pilot in 1979 it warms my heart to see that while our Nation is changing more every day, our military stands fast.
My Dad went to Vietnam twice. He never said much about it but I grew up believing he and all his pals were American war heroes. And I still do. He just passed a few years ago. May all the Vets RIP.
They were slaughter there. .
@@usmanaslam8684 for both sides
He and his Pals are American War Heros !
My dads a nam vet I’m sorry for your loss you’ll see him again one day
REAL MEN. !!!
Skinny is retired now after over 30 years in the military.
Don't forget those afghans kept him safe with their lives.

@@m4a1_delta66 My apologies then, that's my mistake! I didn't realize that was the motto for all Army special forces.
Those Pavehawk pilots and PJ’s are nuts! God bless every one of them.
You have to be nuts to do what we do! Thanks to all the brave men and women that are in our armed forces🥰🤗

@@patronsaintofswitchbladefi2944 You KNOW when you are arguing with a liberal! They always spout their stupidity but when asked for facts or confronted with facts they are nowhere to be found.
One of my best friends was a PJ in Vietnam. He flew in the Jolly Greens into North Vietnam to rescue downed pilots. Once there he took the hoist down, usually under fire, to get the downed pilot to the hoist and attach him so he could be brought back to the helo.
Unreal balls on those guys......

Welcome home and thank you for your service and sacrifice to the country. Love from Pittsburgh
Talk about amazing men! Have you ever watched the multi episode documentary of what it takes to be a PJ? I played every sport in high school and one sport in college and a little after. I learned to ignore the pain of the exercises and intense workouts all year long! I played with broken fingers, cracked jaw, no big toenails, stitches in my face, black eyes, sprained ankles, etc. I was more enduring than most. But, a PJ? Forget it man!! To make it takes an incredibly high level of mental ability. Most of the men who are muscular, ex-athletes, long distance runners and tough as shit men dropped out! Those who made it didn’t look like they would make it in the beginning! It’s beyond my comprehension of tough. These guys are incredibly different. I have never seen humans like that before. I had no idea what they did and what it took to become one. Delta and Navy seals are easier to pass!
It was awesome to hear this side of the story. I've seen the movie (Lone Survivor) and even read Marcus Luttrell's book of the same name but to hear about the bravery of these pilots and rescue crew members was amazing. God bless all my fellow brother and sister veterans.
I was a Major attached to a neurosurgical team as a CRNA in Balad, Iraq. I encountered PJ's on two occasions during my tour as they brought injured service members into our hospital. They were always humble and very professional. The work they did many times went unnoticed by those who were unaware of who they were. My quarters were very close to the airstrip. I always knew when I heard helicopters flying inbound that my pager was about to go off. To this day, I still cringe when I hear helicopters overhead.
being humble is something that is worth more than words.
I wish more people thought the same today.
The ultimate sign of a warrior.

They did not talk about the terrible storms the days prior. It was actually a Green Beret not a Ranger that came out behind Luttrell. They did almost shoot him. Talk about nightmare. Most of the story they told this time was true. Missed a few things but loved it. I am really Happy Spankster was given some recognition on this one. Such a selfless individual, mission focused and full of empathy and compassion.
antihero podcast just aired it all out was what i remember
Skinny's attitude is says a lot about him. He is genuinely a good guy. He makes me want to sign up. Too bad I'm too old.
there’s always search and rescue on the civilian side
Really cool to see the story of The Lone Survivor from a different perspective. Nicely done
It’s crazy how much sacrifice goes into rescue ops, they just lost a chinook and a whole rescued crew operating the chinook yet they still sent out two pave hawks and crews with a whole fleet of counterattack aircraft to rescue one seal.
Also shoutout to that A-10 pilot improvising with his resources to help with the mission
Ami Go Home! And Drive your own car Not ours
This makes me very very proud with these guys do every day protect the homeland and bring our boys home thank you for showing us very touching and emotional🇺🇸✝️
Shout out to Marcus Latrell wand all the guys who lost their lives that day. Such a crazy story and such a heart warming feeling to know there is someone out there willing to risk it all just to make sure at least one guy can come home to their family.

We are all “Brothers” (service women as well) regardless of the uniform; especially in war! God Bless America, God Bless our military men and women!

Thank you for this video. I love everyone who had a took part in this mission. Courage is having the fear and doing it anyway. You all are the epitome of courage.
When I was young the adrenaline dump was something we all sought after in a variety of ways. The older you get, the less enjoyable it is until eventually you get to a point where the adrenaline itself is a reminder that the shakes are soon to follow.
Nowadays I can't stand being startled, even mildly, lest it triggers the usual adrenaline response and and ensuing post-dump nervousness/shakiness and wobbly leg symptoms hop aboard as well.
I agree 100% the things that excited me 15 to 20 years ago no longer excite me and end up annoying me or startling me.
GOD BLESS MY FELLOW BROTHERS.!!!!! I'm a Viet Nam vet but I salute and esteem my fellow veterans for their bravery and service. No matter how many years separate us, patriotism and love of country still bind us together with a bond that can never be weakened or broken. God bless America and God bless my fellow patriot brothers!!!!!
An IR spotlight from a gunship at God only knows what altitude? That's insane!
I'm so proud of all the US forces. Thank you to everyone who has served. My biggest regret in life is I didn't do a stint in the military. I'm sure it would've improved my life. And I can only hope that I would've had half the bravery of the men in this mission.
THANK YOU! To every single one of you soldiers! From the noob sweeping the barracks to the grease monkey to the special ops... ALL of you... AMERICA can't thank you enough for your sacrifices.
I SALUTE YOU GUYS FOR WHAT YOU DID THAT NIGHT IN BRINGING THOSE SEALS HOME! Thank you so very much ya'll deserve soo much respect...Dave from Fl......CTI1 Ret./Disabled USN
A quote from "THE ART OF WAR". Treat your men like they were your own sons and they will follow you throw darkest valleys.
...through...
they skipped over the chapter about being on your own land though
Thank you guys for your service and professionalism. Amazing story.
He poured that fuel like he pour some Jack Daniels "This is for the boys "
Hahahaha 😄 That's a gud one"
I served at Eglin with the 55th ARRS, in avionics-the PJ's and the pilots are THE BEST!!!!!
This is definitely the real rescue mission for the movie lone survivor
Yep, Operation Red Wings / Red Wings II
Remember everyone deployed. 🇺🇸 God bless you all. All the way.
That’s amazing guys. Awesome job to all our men and woman in the armed services. May we all continue to praise your service and sacrifices.
Thank you for you all and your family for your service to keep us safe God bless you. 🇺🇸 ❤
Just watched this. I don't think many people understand how risky this was at the moment they were making the rescue for Luttrell. Low illumination, clouds, night. All terrible conditions for helicopters. So many things to go wrong. Most other missions would have been called off due these conditions. Very difficult. Major props to these pilots. Shows how well trained they were and how well they executed their mission.
I salute all of you who gender the bravery you have in performing your duty a soldier with gutts and glory in time of service to the fellow soldier in time of war...
This should be a movie by itself and of course it’s the A10 that saves the day. The one aircraft we are trying to retire 😕
Can't "hats off" enough for ParaRescue and the crews (active and reserve). Having watched this video and videos of the Coast Guard crews flying out of Kodiak AK, I think it would be a great training experience to team up (both sides) and share some one on one exercises.
are you liaison?? get real, coast guard is civilian, like mall cops. military is light years ahead in training and experience.... you need an example? this video. coast guard sure are heroes its true, risking life and limb to save another anonymous human being. cool story bro.... these pilots in this video were risking life and limb to save one of their own..... let that sink in. it wasn't simply the helo pilots risking life and limb, it was every slinging dick involved in that mission, hell bent on one thing and one thing only. 'I am willing to die tonight to see him live', 'suck on that',,,, an a-10 pilot, processing the inability to laze the lz,,, trust me, he didnt see a break in the clouds in order to laze the lz. he created a fkn break in the clouds in order to laze that fkn lz. thats what a-10 pilots do. and that, son, is why we cannot train together, cannot swap spit as it were.. hats off to you guys, you do incredible work. thank you for your service .
@@reapsgrimley 🤣. Mall cops? That's original. At least you didn't confuse them with weekend warriors. But your first few lines clearly shows you have no clue the the differences between fixed and rotatory wing aircraft. So go back to your RC drones. 🥱
Thank you Skinny and Spanky ,and thanks to the Seal Team, the ones that did and didn't make it home....
This was made into a Mark Wahlberg movie, Lone Survivor i think it was. Great movie
my thinking
I don't know who I'd rather be...the first heli drawing fire or the 2nd heli doing the pickup! Thank you to Colonel Macrander, everyone in his group, the people who developed their helicopters, the people who developed their tactics, their night vision apparatus...toilet paper tubes 😂...and of course every Afghan civilian who risked their lives to help us.
I’ve been occasionally searching UA-cam for this episode for the last 8-10 years. This was where I first learned of Marcus Luttrell and Operation Red Wing.
WOnderful! I loved it. Not over hyped, accurately done and captures all the danger and heroisim of these warriros
This video shows why we need the A-10. Without it, the Special Forces survivor would not have been rescued, because you can't see things well on the ground if you are at a "'stand-off" distance.
The pilots should have gotten the DFC.
Not just the Pilots ,,but the crews !!!
Totally agree 👍
@@williamperry118 #72 still great!
Become Pilots, not easy job every 3 months they have to go physical check-up eyes 20 20 vision and emotional fit
That whole thing was as heavy as it gets. And those gnarly Army Rangers that hiked the mountain in rain to gather the men. Proud as hell to be American.
A huge thank you to everyone for your service. Past present and future. Thank you!
Nobody is talking about the Afghan that delivered the letter to the army base....
Lol, Spanky dumped fuel on the Taliban. What a legend.
God bless these men who risk their lives to help others.
The biggest bummer about The Lone Survivor story is there is 15 different accounts of how things happened. Marcus himself has gone ON RECORD and given at least five different stories on how it all went down. Truly a bummer to not know the real story.
For those of us conducting combat ground operations, a chopper always spelled survival! I owe my life to a chopper crew!!!!!
I have to join in and share my appreciation, and gratefully applaud all of those brave individuals who came together from various military specialties and overcame individual self-doubt to accomplish an exemplary rescue mission!
Kudos and bravo to each of you!
Ideally, we, as a human race, all populating one planet, can someday unify against those who live behind the scenes that keep the human species broken into smaller categories that consistently battle each other. The same ancient bloodlines remaining in power have been cleverly setting us up to war against each other for centuries, profiting off both sides of every war they are responsible for creating the initial conditions later developing into outright warfare. I remain hopeful we'll one day cease to participate in their artificial globally murderous boardgames.
2 minutes into the video,, that's not in the Gulf of Mexico, thats the my dudes over at Patrick AFB on the east coast of Florida. Love to the 920th Rescue and the cats in the 45th too. You all rock.
The quirky guy (you all know who) is my favourite
We are all quirky... that is the spice of life!
@@Capt_OscarMike long enough reply buddy? U.S.A. SUUCKKKS. The commander ain’t quirky...it appears he’s the real life good doctor but in the USAF. Don’t let these types of non humans in our Air Force!
Who is this? F you!
Who do you think you are I am
Amazing Documentary
Absolutely amazing 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Semper fi brothers
This is the guy Joe Rogan interviewed if you guys don’t remember..guys a badass
Watch the movie. Called "Lone Survivor"
LT Michael P. Murphy was THE badass that made it possible for Luttrell to be alive in order be rescued. RIP Red Wings
May God bless each and every one of these brave soldiers for honerably doing their duty and gracing God, our country and their family with their service. God bless them all.
God Bless America and ALL of our military.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Operation Red Wings anniversary is in 8 days, June 28th, 2021, RIP Danny Boy, Axe, and Yankee!
And the other SDV, SEAL Team 10 & 160th guys...
gone but the story still inspires to this day..
When you are facing something very difficult in your life just think of these guys and how bad their day/week was, NEVER OUT OF THE FIGHT!
these folks kind of thought they were at the top of their game before they knew they were at the top of their game.. had to be enlightening. thank you for your service.
Very Impressive Mission Accomplishment !!! You Guys 🎸 ROCK !!! 🎸 !!!
Unbelievable rescue,one hell of a pilot.
Outstanding Flying and American teamwork!
Amazing patriots. God bless them for their service.
got to experience PJ training in 78.....washed out in 3rd week...went on to become a crew chief on fighter's....in a way I was relieved
So others may live 🇺🇸 you are my heroes! God bless you all & the seals who lived & died 🍻
Why does no one root for the bearded guys? They seem super nice. They just want freedom....to beat women to death....

Wow, I just watched a bunch of heroes and was touched mightily.
I live in Mesa AZ and everyday i see a group of two or three sometimes five Blackhawks flying south over mesa. I also worked next to Boeing where they build the Apaches. I got to see them flying real low all day long and could hear them test firing the 30mm. That's when my love for helicopters began.
Bitter Pill Indeed. Love It U.S.A.F. P.J.'s Save Navy Seals. No Branch Of The Military Is Better Then The Other. We All Have A Special Set Of Skills To Achieve The Mission.
U.S.A.F 83-87.
Flashback. A friend of mind husband was on the chinook twin blade helocopter that was shot down. Lives of her and kids changed forever
Cheers and thumbs up for our soldiers, reserves and vets! You are the best of bests!
Wow it is truly mission impossible heroes salute to all American warrior god bless you and your family god bless america .
Thank God and Country for the Pavehawk pilots and PJ’s. True American heroes. You guys are badass. Thank you for all you risk and all you do.
Bravo Zulu most amazing work, sad for those who lost there lives, to the Rangers top notch soldiers, pilots you guys rock, crews you guys are bravest of the brave to all well done
I am not an American . Now in July 2021 Americans have left , Talibans are taking control of Afghanistan. So after 20 years, spending around 2 Trillion Dollars and loss of human lives what have you achieved? Iraq, Libya ,Syria, Afghanistan n next adventure perhaps Iran…I was a frequent traveler to these places.Once peaceful , beautiful hubs of great civilization are in chaos now literally mutilated by decades of senseless wars.
A truly excellent film that will be remembered by viewers everywhere.
This is an astounding video...to those who go in harm's way...thank you...
The only comparison I can think of is with the Special Forces Regiment, AKA the Devils Brigade. But even then, they got to bring their weapons. Extraordinary courage gentlemen. We all are grateful to you.
5:06 - he looks like someone took a cartoon character and tried to make them look realistic
Man, when the narrator said that all the people on the flightline snapped to attention and saluted when they saw the flags on the bodies, I was overwhelmed. Go USA!
Awesome, so glad we have men like these.
WoW now that's real AMERICAN HEROS right there boys.
Great production for a great story about the greatest country of great people. Thank u for your service
PILOTS ARE EXCELLENT..... WORLDS BEST BY FAR
Awesome !! Glad y’all made it home with Marcus ❤️❤️
Capt Gonzo sounds like he could have been an Air Cav pilot at on point 😅😅
I love the way he delicately pronounces 'Chee-nuke' all through the video.😆
34:25 this guy's not a pilot his a poet❤️
amen,
Redwing.....
The real deal,not a holywood/walberg fiction...
Thanks guys,glad you brought marcus home
I'd love to sit with all the people involved in the "rescue" and the making of this docu-series.... cause i would rip them to shreds with just a few questions. They wouldve wished they never made this! Im just keepn it 100...
Salute to the gunners. They are the ones who protect all of the soldiers.
The confidence a hog brings to the battlefield is something else
The British narrator makes this episode worth watching.
lost alot of special operators on that chopper shot down tier one guys THANK YOU to all who went on this mission and rescue
he said i realised today is the fourth of July, this comment was also made on the fourth of July. God bless you all brave soldiers
Classic case for a couple A-10 and an AC-130 Spectre gunship to create some Taliban toast.
The A-10 and gunship should have been assigned from the start to protect Luttrell and his team
It's always so nice to hear how few hundreds guys with multibillion weapons won a battle against 5 guys in bedsheets - which won the war in the end 😅😅😅
If they don t find him the Taliban surely will. I bet the Army rangers out there woulda had a little to say bout that. Awesome rescue to all involved.
God bless the Seal brothers and SOAR crewmen who gave it all in their effort to get to Marcus, Mike , Danny and Axe, warriors all.
I don t believe they sent " any unit " they sent the best there is. That all we have.
Welcome home warriors!!!
I'm kinda surprised 'Spanky' didn't receive a DFC for that - unless there's some weird fine print that says a reservist can't get one? Couldn't find much info on it.
Once deployed, are you really still a "reservist"? USA !
@@DaveStuff Good point - again I’m not sure but yeah, if you’re getting shot at and protecting US assets and personnel you should be entitled to the same commendations.
Did you look at Spanky's patches around his uniform? Its all civilian US Dept of Customs. name badge says "Air Interdiction Unit" which is normal for drug interdiction off the US coasts. His gold badge says he's a Federal Agent.
I know the DEA had a bunch of narcs running around A-stan trying to "control drugs". This was not really publicized until the DEA agents filed a grievance for overtime pay and some kind of special combat pay. They were getting shot at with bullets and RPGs like any other tan uniformed US/European looking guys.
I can still be done!
